DENVER (CBS4) – Gov. Jared Polis announced on Tuesday afternoon that numerous counties in the State of Colorado are soon going to be moving to a new, more restrictive phase on the coronavirus dial which means indoor dining will no longer be allowed at restaurants. The phase will be “Red – Severe Risk,” which is a new level on the dial.
Jefferson County has confirmed it will go to the Red level. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said “expects” Denver to move to Red.
“This is the riskiest time for the virus everywhere in Colorado that we have had from the very start,” Polis said.
Between 10 to 15 counties will be moving to the new phase in the next few days, according to Polis. The complete list hasn’t been finalized as state health officials work with local officials to make the decisions.

“We must act now to save lives. We must act now to avoid a shutdown or lockdown,” Polis said.
The number of positive cases of coronavirus in the state continues to rise. And approximately 1,300 Coloradans are currently hospitalized due to coronavirus.

The new phase also means that capacity at gyms will be lowered to 10%.
Mayor Hancock took part in a news conference with Polis on Tuesday to discuss the response to the pandemic and made a few comments.
“We expect to be there,” Hancock said, referring to the new Red phase.
CBS4 reached out to numerous counties on Colorado’s Front Range on Tuesday afternoon and so far none have stated definitively that they are moving to the new phase.
